Reliance Servo Motor Repair
Reliance AC servo motors receive a comprehensive evaluation after arriving at the Servotech facility. Our repair technicians treat the motor as a whole, first examining the all mechanical and electrical components to ensure that we can address any issues beyond the required repair and return your servo motor in good-as-new condition.
Servotech has full programming capabilities and is a stocking distributor of these encoders. Non-programmed or improperly programmed encoders will not work when run on factory drives. Once repairs are complete, with a newly programmed encoder installed, we test the servo motor on factory drives to ensure proper function.
Reliance DC Servo Motor Repair
Every Reliance DC servo motor that we repair first undergoes an in-depth evaluation to find the exact cause of failure. Each part of the motor will be thoroughly inspected, including all mechanical and electrical components. Our experienced technicians know these motors inside and out, and they are equipped to properly test and repair them. Our goal is to extend the life of your DC servo motor, returning it in good-as-new condition.
For DC servo motors to function, they require carbon brushes. The brushes wear out over time, and the resulting carbon dust contaminates the motor throughout. When you send your motor to Servotech, we will thoroughly clean it and install new brushes.
As older technology, replacement parts for DC servo motors can be hard to find. We are proud to maintain a wide-ranging inventory of parts, and will go to great lengths to procure anything we don’t have in stock. When needed, we can fabricate parts ourselves, as our in-house machine shop and 3D printing capabilities allow us to reverse-engineer connector blocks, endbells, encoder covers, and other parts. When it comes to repairing Reliance DC servo motors, there’s no one more capable or well-equipped than Servotech.
In addition to Reliance servo motor repair services, Servotech refurbishes servo and spindle motors from over 100 manufacturers. See all brands we service.
Our Repair & Refurbishment Process
1. Checking In
- Motor is photographed and documented by our receiving department
- Unique job number is assigned
- Acknowledgement is sent via email
- Motor is delivered to the appropriate department to be evaluated
2. Evaluation
The evaluation of each Reliance servo motor is extremely thorough and is 100% free for all our customers. Our technicians fully inspect all mechanical and electrical parts. They also perform multiple tests to determine the cause of failure. This includes, but is not limited to:
- Bearing fits
- Housing fits
- Worn output shafts
- Corroded and/or broken flanges
- Burnt Stator Windings
- Failed Encoders
- Damaged Connectors
3. Quote
Our purchasing department then generates a firm quote, outlining the cause for failure, and listing all needed parts for repair. Our team excels in sourcing any parts that are not already stocked in our extensive inventory. We understand that getting your machine up and running is of utmost importance, and we go above and beyond to offer you the quickest delivery possible.
4. Servo Motor Repair
Once the quote is approved, orders are placed for any needed parts and our technicians proceed with repairs. Anything that requires our in-house services, such as winding or machine work, is taken to the corresponding department. When ready, the motor is re-assembled with all new parts and hardware, bringing it to good-as-new condition.
5. Final Testing
Upon completion of repairs, the Reliance servo motor heads to our quality control department for final testing. Here, we review the entire repair and run it on a factory specific drive. Using the same drive that is used in your machine ensures that your Reliance servo motor will run just as it should once re-installed. We take great pride in maintaining an inventory of factory drives as it allows us to offer the most effective, reliable refurbishment possible.
6. Painting & Re-Labeling
Not only does a fresh coat of paint make your Reliance servo motor look brand new, but it also provides protection from outside contaminants, extending the overall lifespan of the motor. Our painting department provides application-specific paint, such as:
- Food grade epoxy
- IP67 epoxy
- Marine epoxy
7. Return Shipping
Our shipping department takes pride in offering the highest quality care when preparing a refurbished motor for its journey back to you. Protective caps are put on connectors, nameplates are applied to the motor, and documentation is reviewed to make sure any accessories, such as eye bolts or shaft keys, are returned to you. Our high-quality spray foam packaging system creates a mold around the motor to keep it safe in the box during shipping. For larger motors that require freight shipping, we build a custom crate on-site to fit each motor’s unique size and shape..
- Bearing fits
- Housing fits
- Worn output shafts
- Corroded and/or broken flanges
